Some more info for you folks.
there are presently two bills in the house (HR 1508 and 1509 I
think!)
pertaining to our plight.
One bill proposes to change the presumtive judgement from sole physical
custody to joint physical custody. This would begin to solve a
tremendous amout of the problems we parents face in regard to custody,
visitation etc. There would have to be compelling evidence to not have
joint physical custody instead of the present default to sole physical
custody.
The other bill makes a restraining order just as easy to get,but...
If it is shown that the original justification for the restraining
order was not properly justified, then the filer of the request would
be held to penalties insted of getting a slap on the wrist and tying up
all the courts time and resources.
Get on the horn and find out where your sen. and rep. stands on these
issues. The phone calls alone will make them aware that these issues
are on their constituents minds. Find out how they'd vote. Just asking
the question will get their attention! (thoughts , comments?)

Here's the correct stuff:
Bill No:1598 - Joint physical custody (presumptive judgement of joint
physical custody instead of sole physical custody)
Bill No:1599 - reciprocating penalties for false basis on filing
restraining orders

I have a copy of the actual Bill as it currently sits. It's actually
Senate Bill No. 1599. Here is how it reads.
By Miss O'Brien (by request), a petition (accompanied by bill,
Senate, No. 1599) of Mark Charalambous for legislation to curb the
abuse of domestic violence laws. The judiciary.
AN ACT TO CURB THE ABUSE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LAWS.
SECTION 1. A screening process shall be established for domestic
restraining orders, whereby a determination can be made of the need
for the order taking into consideration the possibility of deceptive
motives.
Emergency domestic restraining orders shall be in effect for three
(3) days and if granted must be done without prejudice with respect
to any pending action for divorce or custody.
Request for domestic restraining orders must be accompanied by an
affirmative which shall be given under penalty of perjury. The abuse
prevention order form itself must include a place where the plaintiff
acknowledges, by signature, that the allegations are true under penalty
of perjury.
SECTION 2. Penalties for requesting and obtaining a domestic
restraining order under false pretenses shall be established which
are identical to the penalties for violating a domestic restraining
order.
